muff1.jpg muff2.jpg This is what the damage to the mufflers looks like after excavating the worst of the rust. It's where the inner baffle is welded to the outer cone. muff3.jpg I patched it with JB Weld Extreme Temperature exhaust repair paste. Like an epoxy, but water based and good (according to...

I'm convinced the sonsabitches can read a calendar.

mc1.jpg This is the master cylinder for the front disk brake with the new sight glass installed. The MC worked okay after a thorough cleaning, and it was MUCH cheaper to replace the sight glass than the whole MC. You can see where I didn't get all the silicone off from my attempt to seal the old on...

There are two more document-worthy (if you're REALLY desperate for entertainment...) projects in the works. 1 - The master cylinder has a sight glass so you can check fluid level without removing the cover.

Also just a quick and dirty hand-held phone video so not great quality. So far I've rebuilt the carbs, replaced all the o ...

Got the big monitor set up, but may have to rethink the positioning. It's pretty close to the lathe (dust/debris) and right in front of the thermostat (may affect set point). Problem is, there's not a better place for it that leaps to mind...

I've bitched as much as anyone about technology, but some aspects of it are so handy, I'd hate to do without. Firstly, I bought a new TV as the old one was having software issues with the streaming apps and pissing me off, so I replaced it. The new one works perfectly AND has built-in bluetooth. As ...
